  • A great listen

    Clever, intelligent podcast. I enjoy the ancillary conversation that accompanies combat sports. And the expected content is very good too. But… I wish they’d drop the wrestling content. That’s for children.

  • It’s not always about combat sports...

    There’s a lot more to this podcast than just boxing/mma/wrestling. Give it a listen and you may learn a bit more about yourself. While the hosts are knowledgeable and well informed on all of these sports, they also educate you on life. Keep up the great work, Gentlemen.

  • My top sports podcast

    I'm not a fan of any of the sports you all talk about. I heard you all on The Combat Jack show and said well maybe they be decent because you could learn something. I binged listening to all the episode, a new fan. I love hearing about things I'm not an expert on. Good stuff
